Sure is easy to forget to post on this blog. Can't believe a week has flown by since I was last here.

I think we were blessed with significant rain last night. I'll check the garden after my coffee infusion.

The thunder in the last 12 hours really makes our favorite canine shudder & shake. Here are 2 pix.....Roxie on the left and Gracie & Roxie on the right. Gracie is Roxie's daughter and lives next door.

Just listed these new earrings on my jewelry website  www.byroberta.etsy.com

The loops are gold washed brass & they make wonderful colors in different lights.

Wow....sure did enjoy the Art Journaling class last night.

It is refreshing to be in the presence of such creative and energetic people.

I learned a lot.....did mostly art stuff, not word journaling yet. Played with art paper & markers & water....make our own background paper for a journal entry. Really Cool. Signed up for the next 3 classes.

Went to a few Bead Shows recently and found this Show Special from one of my favorite vendors. Bought all she had and will offer them on www.ByRobertaSupplies.Etsy.com.  But I will keep a few aside for me to create some new necklaces.

Good morning. Ah, the cuppa' joe!

I an having a new adventure tonight. I've registered for an Art Journaling class. No experience needed and must bring a journal & some fine tip markers & some doo-dads for a collage. I am excited about the collage part, but scared of the journaling part.

Will share my enthusiasm (or lack thereof) later on. If I sign up for the next 3 classes, it'll be considered a success.

Today will find me unpacking a few more boxes from the move (6 months ago) & posting A LOT of new stuff in my Etsy shop.

A brand new week ahead! Lots of plans for beading!

I have so many new beads that I found at the bead shows in the last 2-3 weeks. Some are already on the Etsy shop and many more are waiting for a mug shot & their chance to be profiled in the retail world.

Here's some recycled glass beads from Ghana, Africa. They are created from scrap glass. I absolutely love the sea blue color. It reminds me of the inspirational colors I see on my teaching cruises.....but that's another story, er another Blog.





Today will be spent on the Hopkins campus with one of my clients. It's end of fiscal year and time to get into the books.

I feel so refreshed this morning and so full of ambition and vigor.

This is going to be a test to see if I can master inserting links to other blogs or Etsy shops.
